Waqar Younis criticises wayward Shahid Afridi

Waqar also talked about the indiscipline and arrogant attitude of players such as Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad.

Karachi: Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has been accused of being non-serious throughout Asia Cup and World Twenty20 in the report filed by under-fire coach Waqar Younis.

Senior batsman Mohammad Hafeez was accused of hiding his knee injury from the team management as per the report.

According to excerpts of the report leaked in the media on Wednesday, Waqar said that Afridi appeared non-serious and not concerned about the team’s performance in the two events.

He claimed that Afridi had regularly missed practice sessions and meetings.
The rift between the head coach and captain is not new as the two had also clashed during Waqar’s first tenure in 2011.

According to Waqar, Hafeez didn’t inform the management about the injury which ruled him out of the last two crucial matches against New Zealand and Australia.

Waqar also talked about the indiscipline and arrogant attitude of players such as Umar Akmal and Ahmed Shehzad.
